Glasvegas, 'Glasvegas' (Columbia)
-
Artist:
-
Album:
In Britain, a culture has grown up around urban, working class white guys that's almost religious in its fervor. Glasgow quartet Glasvegas are a product of this world -- frontman James Allen is even a former semipro footballer -- and their remarkable debut gives voice to its fears, frustrations, and heartaches without succumbing to its clichés. He's greatly helped by the band's tsunami of guitar noise, which clearly traces to Phil Spector, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Oasis.
